Dangers Of Technology Quotes

“There are no secrets anymore. Vampires can't come into your house unless you invite them. Posting online is like leaving your front door open and telling any creature of the night it can enter.”
― Victor LaValle, The Changeling

“Users scroll through their feeds and look for something that isn’t there— what a perfect hamster wheel: unlimited content for a lonely soul. The miscellaneous dumpsters of the internet have sought refuge in modern consciousness.”
― Karl Kristian Flores, The Goodbye Song

“A Lie (Artificial Intransigence) by Stewart Stafford

The morrow lies beyond
The grasp of our hands,
Fogged coastal shadows
Of mountains in distant lands.

Deities of tech Olympus,
Subhuman to simulated will?
Sage genius cannot tell,
But hubris claims to still.

The synthetic brainchild,
Squats on shoulders high
Of eyeless seers' vision,
Our sentient clone - AI.

“AI is a tool and, like any tool, it can be used for positive and negative ends. It depends on the motives of the operator(s). There are benefits; it could revolutionise crime detection if utilized correctly, speed up and focus investigations and secure convictions. New technology will always be exploited before it is harnessed. That's human nature. With the internet as the perfect delivery mechanism, the effect of AI is multiplied infinitely. The danger is we may have invented our replacement that will one day outgrow us and evolve beyond us.”
